This post just turned up in my Google+ stream. I've checked the OcUK site and they don't sell colour calibration devices and this guy doesn't sell anything else, so hopefully not a problem to link to it. Just for clarification I don't know the guy and have no vested interest in this device, I'm just considering buying one.
Looking at his site, there do appear to be some downsides compared to the Spyder which seems the be the most common calibrator used around these parts. Doesn't work in Windows so you need to use a Linux boot CD, annoying but no biggie. It doesn't do CRTs but I suspect most here won't care about that.
It also doesn't do ambient capture. How important is this? does it matter?
He also reckons it takes 80 seconds to run rather than 5 minutes, but since you have to boot off CD to use it, that advantage is pretty much cancelled out, unless it's necessary to hold these devices still when using it (I've never used one), in which case 80 seconds is much nicer.
Reckon it's worth a punt for under 50 quid?
